Bank Indonesia maintained its benchmark interest rates, including the seven-day reverse repo rate at 6.25%, in line with market expectations to anchor inflation and stabilize the rupiah. Economists anticipate a potential rate cut in the fourth quarter, influenced by the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy easing. The central bank's focus on currency stability due to a weak rupiah has led to a cautious approach in rate adjustments. While maintaining rates for now, there are expectations for a 25 basis point decrease to 6.00% in the future, contingent on rupiah stabilization and global economic uncertainties.
